Subject: [PATCH] namespace: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to parse boot params
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:31:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214153141.218953-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'mhash_entries=' and 'mphash_entries=' boot parameters.
Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving behavior for existing values, and
removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.
